Reconstructing the invasion history of Heracleum persicum (Apiaceae) into Europe
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2015-11-06)Sparse, incomplete and inappropriate historical records of invasive species often hamper invasive species management interventions. Population genetic analyses of invaders might provide a suitable context for the identification of their source populations and possible introduction routes. Here, we describe the population genetics of Heracleum persicum Desf. ex Fisch and trace its route of introduction ... -

There is more to climate than the North Atlantic Oscillation: a new perspective from climate dynamics to explain the variability in population growth rates of a long-lived seabird
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-29)Predicting the impact of global climate change on the biosphere has become one of the most important efforts in ecology. Ecosystems worldwide are changing rapidly as a consequence of global warming, yet our understanding of the consequences of these changes on populations is limited. The North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) has been used as a proxy for “climate” in several ecological studies, but this ... -
Black-legged Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla adults and chicks share the same diet in the southern Barents Sea
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)The Black-legged Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla population is declining throughout its North Atlantic range. In Norway, the species is classified as Endangered on the Norwegian Red List. Studies of diet are one important requirement for effective management of any species. Because it is easier to sample, chick diet has often been considered a proxy for adult diet in many seabird studies, but the ... -
A tragedy of errors? Institutional dynamics and land tenure in Finnmark, Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-03)Reindeer herding in Finnmark has been widely perceived during the last few decades as a perfect example of the tragedy of the commons. The present article claims that this discourse relies on flawed assumption regarding land tenure. Our historical analysis of the term ‘common’ in relation to resources in Finnmark shows the term to reflect a misunderstanding of local categories, practices, and concerns ... -
Høyvikhaugen, Vadsø k. Sikringsundersøkelse og retting av skader på boplass fra eldre steinalder, og tuft og bosetningsspor fra yngre steinalder
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2015-07-31)I forbindelse med oppsetting av sirklingslys ved Vadsø Lufthavn ble det i 2007 forvoldt skade på tre automatisk fredete kulturminner. Riksantikvaren fattet vedtak om sikring av de skadete delene av lokaliteten, som innebar utgraving og dokumentasjon, revegetering og restaurering av kulturmiljø, samt miljøovervåking av bevaringsforholdene i en tuft. Resultatene fra undersøkelsene viser til ulike ... -
Long-distance plant dispersal to North Atlantic islands: colonization routes and founder effect
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-04-15)Long-distance dispersal (LDD) processes influence the founder effect on islands.We use genetic data for 25 Atlantic species and similarities among regional floras to analyse colonization, and test whether the genetic founder effect on five islands is associated with dispersal distance, island size and species traits. Most species colonized postglacially via multiple dispersal events from several ... -
The status and trends of seabirds breeding in Norway and Svalbard
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2015-03)This report presents the updated sizes, trends and spatial distributions of the breeding populations of 17 seabird species breeding in Norway and Svalbard. The analyses are based on available census and monitoring data from SEAPOP; the Norwegian monitoring and mapping program for seabirds. In addition, the report presents results from a species-specific literature review of the most important ... -

The stress hormone corticosterone in a marine top predator reflects short-term changes in food availability
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015)In many seabird studies, single annual proxies of prey abundance have been used to explain variability in breeding performance, but much more important is probably the timing of prey availability relative to the breeding season when energy demand is at a maximum. Until now, intraseasonal variation in prey availability has been difficult to quantify in seabirds. Using a state-of-the-art ocean ... -

Effekter av treslagsskifte, treplanting og nitrogengjødsling i skog på biologisk mangfold. Kunnskapsgrunnlag for å vurdere skogtiltak i klimasammenheng
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2013)Som oppfølging av St. meld. 21 Norsk klimapolitikk (2011-2012) vurderer regjeringen ulike tiltak for å nå målet om et nettoutslipp av klimagasser innen 2030. I denne sammenheng skal Klima og forurensingsdepartementet (Klif), Direktoratet for naturforvaltning (DN), Statens landbruksforvaltning (SLF) og Norsk institutt for skog og landskap (Skog og Landskap) utvikle miljøkriterier for planting av ... -
Kongeørn i Finnmark. Årsrapport 2012
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2013)Målet med prosjektet er å framskaffe økt kunnskap om bestanden av kongeørn i Finnmark. Gjennom å studere atferd, valg av byttedyr, reproduksjon og trekkmønster er kunnskapen nå betydelig forbedret. Kongeørna er studert over tolv feltsesonger (2001-2012) i de indre områdene av Porsanger, Karasjok og Tana. Det er også gjennomført studier i Alta og Kautokeino av rovfuglgruppa i Alta. I perioden ... -

Sexual selection on wing interference patterns in Drosophila melanogaster
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2014)Animals with color vision use color information in intra- and interspecific communication, which in turn may drive the evolution of conspicuous colored body traits via natural and sexual selection. A recent study found that the transparent wings of small flies and wasps in lower-reflectance light environments display vivid and stable structural color patterns, called “wing interference patterns” ...
